Breakfast Burrito with a side of tater tots
Gaby J.

Went here as it was close to Koreatown and was recommended twice on yelp & Reddit for cheap breakfast bites. I ordered the breakfast burrito which comes with a side of hashbrown or your choice of fries, salad or rice. It also came with a small portion of fresh salsa. I also ordered the fresh squeezed orange juice because it reminded me of the fresh squeezed juice I've had in Portugal. The lady who worked the counter was really nice. She complimented on my portable fan and even taught me a little korean, which was how to say thank you. Kamsahamnida. I highly recommend Potato Sack if you're looking for a quick bite to eat with excellent service. I love how cozy it feels. Potato sack is like going to your generous auntie home where she showers you with compliments and feed you until you're full. I love it. Parking: Free parking in the plaza. Meter parking in the street. $1 per hour parking (1 hr MAX) Price: $$ Recommendation: Breakfast burrito and fresh squeezed orange juice

I'd rather be here than waiting in line at H Cafe and wait for our food be served for an hour. No pretense at this place. Clean and organized. Food are all tasty and delicious.

Always love coming here! I always get the breakfast burrito and it's always the same every time! Delicious food for a really good price in this small shop! Service is always a 10/10 too

nice little hole in wall.  AC could've been better 07/2025

Had a potsack sandwich with sausage. Egg was cooked "perfectly," light texture, not overcooked. The sausage was a little underwhelming in flavor. I was afraid that "jam" on the sandwich might make it too sweet, but it didn't. Jam balanced nicely with the savory notes of the sandwich. but not a bad sandwich. The tots......tasted like tots, not much to say other than that. P.S......do something about the AC. The temperature could've been better.

Jalapeno Bacon Fried Rice (TikTok: @justandyvu)

1. The fried rice definitely had some spicy from the jalapeños, and I love the crispiness from the bacon bits! 2. The spot has cozy casual vibes! 3. There are only indoor seatings available! 4. The staff were friendly and welcoming! They will provide table service! 5. Parking lot is small! Note: I did not easily see if there was a customer's restroom at this spot!

Breakfast burrito
Katherine S.

The Potato Sack is tucked away in the corner of a small plaza with free parking! I ordered to go, but the restaurant looked clean and spacious when I stopped by. I ordered a breakfast burrito ($14) with a side of 2 pancakes ($5). I was greeted by a really kind worker inside who gave me my food! The entire trip home, all I could smell was butter from the pancakes. The burrito comes with a side (I chose tater tots), pico de gallo, and a spicy aioli sauce that was so yummy. The burrito itself had tots, cheese, eggs, and your choice of protein. It was a good size, and it wasn't super greasy :) I will definitely be a repeat customer here!

I came across this restaurant on here as a recommend place. I was almost instantly persuaded to come just by the name because HELLO POTATOES! The tater tots were so crispy and delicious. I ordered the breakfast burrito with bacon and a side of those amazing tater tots. I also got one of their blended coffees to go. The burrito was a very generous size and was packed with so much flavor. The lady that was serving and taking ordered was Al older sweet lady with the sweetest smile and you could tell she loved her job. She made sure she greeted everyone as they walked in. I ordered my food to go and it literally took them less than 10 minutes to make it. It was such a cute spot.

Eggs Bacon Benedict with bacon and salad
Angela L.

We needed a hearty breakfast before Anime Expo. This little breakfast shop was 15 minutes walking from our hotel. It was tucked into the corner of a strip mall. Inside were wooden tables and plastic chairs. I ordered the eggs Benedict with bacon and a salad. My son ordered the eggs with bacon. Both were $14. My eggs Benedict was cooked perfectly. The creamy yolk with the sauce mixed with the saltiness of the bacon was delicious on the English muffin. The salad helped to give a different texture and flavor profile to the dish. My son's over easy eggs was perfectly cooked. The gentleman who greeted us was very nice. The food tasted like it was made by someone's mother.

Breakfast Burrito, Side Tater Tots & Jalapeno Bacon Fried Rice

My daughter & I tried this little hole-in-the-wall spot for brunch this Saturday morning. The menu was full of stuff I want to try but we ended up splitting a breakfast burrito + tater tots and the bacon jalapeño fried rice. Both were a hit! The staff were very nice and helpful as well. I'll definitely be back here soon.

Eggs Bacon Benedict. Good!
Derek L.

I get my hair cut next door to this place and decided to stop by afterwards for a late breakfast. This is a great little mom and pop style restaurant in the corner of a small plaza on 8th street. It has a menu with a nice variety. I got the arugula ham and cheese omelette and my wife got eggs Benedict. Both were very tasty!! The service was great and the food came out quickly. Nice people here. We'll definitely be back!!

Nice spot for a quick breakfast. Chose some sides instead of a full meal because I was not fully hungry at the time. Ordered Loaded Tater Tots and Chocolate Chip Panko Crusted French Toast. If you enjoy your tater tots on the soggy side, this might be a great choice. The tater tots are crispy on the outside but fall apart very easily. If you like them to hold their crunch more, it might be worth asking if they can fry or heat them up a little longer. The french toast was warm and delicious with a sweet chocolatey sauce drizzle on top. It's important to note these two are side dishes so the main courses are likely more solidly prepared. I would like to come back some day to try out the other dishes. Parking here can be very limited in the small plaza space, otherwise it is street parking.

The Potsack Breakfast Sandwich with sausage and crispy home fries.
Gee W.

The PotSack Sandwich was AWESOME! Whoever crafted it really understands balance. Lightly sweet tomato jam, balanced by spicy arugula and tempered with pickled onions, a breakfast sausage patty, fluffy scrambled eggs, provolone and nutty oat bread! Fucking phenomenal and reasonable. Don't skip the single origin house drip. Also they were open Thanksgiving morning!

I got a breakfast burrito, sausage and bacon with a side of home fries .. they give you a side of pico de gallo and a side of a spicy orange salsa.. breakfast burrito was good had a lot of tater tots and not a lot of eggs, but it was bomb. That orange salsa is amazing and I'm trying to figure out what In it so I could make it , it's that good lol As for the price ,I would've liked to be a little bit more hooked up but the flavor made up for that .. I have no complaints service was also excellent and quick ! I don't mind paying more for things when they're good and service is great and this is exactly what you'll get from this place.. I took everything to go, but there was a dine in portion of the restaurant .. next time would love to sit, eat and try other menu items

This past visit I came with a large group and was still seated immediately. I didn't realize just how large it is inside, as I usually am towards the front or on the small front patio. ANYWAY The Korean wings were very good but admittedly could have been a bit spicier. The loaded fries had a bit too much melty cheese on top that oversaturated the other ingredients. The chicken quesadilla was I enjoyed but was a little basic. Last time I was here before this I had a chicken tikka quesadilla which I think was a more inventive dish that is certainly more memorable than this one.

For my sides I had ordered the sauteéd garlic spinach and a vegetable medly. I ate and enjoyed everything on my plate. I wasn't a fan of their margarita with a splash of soda, so they made another one without hesitation and it was terrific--well balanced. It wasn't too tart nor too sweet. I had been to The Bloc several times before but I had never noticed District's location until I took the Metro train and exited the station and passed it. District is on the lower level next to Starbucks.

I just noticed I've never reviewed Cara Cara, despite having dined there a few times and having…read morestayed at the Proper more times than that. It's the rooftop restaurant and bar at the DTLA Proper Hotel, a very stylish spot with killer north and west views, even with partial diminishment by a recently built residential high-rise. The hotel's cute pool is adjacent to Cara Cara, and hotel guests can order drinks (and maybe even food) poolside from the restaurant staff. Cara Cara has 2 levels, the lower level seems to be just for drinks. There's a DJ here some nights. Cara Cara initially was a small plates place overseen by famed chef Suzanne Goin, who also helmed Proper's then signature restaurant Caldo Verde on the ground floor. Suzanne is no longer, Caldo Verde is now named Cabrillo and serves breakfast only. Cara Cara's menu is revamped and includes larger plates on its varied menu. I ordered 2 spirit-free drinks, Passion Fire and Strawberry Lemonade, both appropriately fruity. I started with the Cara Cara Chopped Salad, which is now kind of Southwestern-ish with corn, jicama, avocado, tortilla strips, queso fresco and a tangy chili-shallot vinaigrette. Very tasty, quite different from the previous chopped salad I had here that had beets and sweet potatoes amongst its ingredients. My main choice was the Golden Hour Burger, quite substantial with cheese, lettuce, tomato and grilled onions. The house-made thousand island was flecked with red chiles, a bit too spicy for me. The herbed fries were great. Dessert was a Strawberry Churro Cheesecake Bar, a delicious short-in-height cheesecake atop a traditional graham cracker (I think) crust, topped with lime Chantilly cream, macerated strawberries and bunuelo (churro) crisps. Service was fine. My former regular server at Caldo Verde, Steven, saw me and it was nice to reconnect. Come for the view, stay for the food and drinks. I'd rank their rooftop view better than that at nearby hotels the Hoxton and the STILE (formerly Ace).

Cute building with lovely patio seating: from the trailing hanging pothos plants, Spanish tiles, to relaxing latin-house music the vibes were welcoming. I'm not much of a drinker though, when asked if I wanted to make my pina colada a "float" I thought incorrectly about ice cream. It was graciously explained that you take an additional shot of rum and float it on top of the drink or mix in to make it extra boozy. The pina colada is top notch they hollow out a real pineapple to make the drink and it's the size of your face! The watermelon cocktail was delicious and there is also a mezcal option. Tasted like if a watermelon aqua Fresca was combined with a margarita, there is a hint of salt that brings out the fruit sweetness. We special ordered a bunch of different proteins and vegetables at half portions to make a feast: Aguachile- Light refreshing starter, kanpachi perfectly marinated and great for the summer heat. Crispy potato- Phenomenally done fingerling potatoes. Whipped beans- Carnitas on top made this dish. Fried chicken tacos- Found the chicken slightly on the dry side, if there was a creamy/thicker sauce would be even better... nothing wrong with flavor, good mild heat. I did enjoy the fresh shredded cabbage and carrots, reminded me of bahn mi. Empanadas- Loved the acidity of the sauce that cut through the fattiness of the ground meat. Light shell. Crispy Squash flower- Delicate crunch, like an angelic version of a jalapeno popper. Lamb chops- Definition of "treat-yourself" luxurious meat lollipops. Celery salad- Simple dish but the lemon flavor and tartness really helped break up the richness of other dishes. Churros- Light crunch and small, petite dessert. The thin caramel sauce is addicting. Fine dining, for those special occasions or if you just want to splurge for a morale boost highly recommend this restaurant. Valet parking or park across the street or around the corner in a lot for $5-10.

The staff are lovely humans who really seem to care about their customers. We have some faves on the menu. The bean dip is fabulous and I'm addicted to the baby gem salad. They have recently amped up the filling in the delicious crispy squash blossoms and I love the acidity and heat. The fish is also a hit in my books. One dish that doesn't work for me is the lamb chops, which is a shame since it's my favorite protein. I've ordered them multiple times with clear instructions on temperature and have found them overcooked and tough. The beef tostada was just ok. Whilst I loved the pickled veg on the side, the beef was underseasoned. It wasn't bad - just not up to the standard of other dishes. The vibe in the place is welcoming and the restaurant is nicely appointed. We will continue to be regulars and it's really worth trying if you haven't been yet.

Now, I'll probably be a regular. Parking is going to be challenging. There's street parking and something that resembles a parking lot around back but I'll just say - if you know the area, have fun and good luck. Sat at the bar so service was excellent. Friendly. Attentive but not in a hovering sort of way. There's only so far to walk behind the bar so looking at the levels of drinks isn't really a stretch. There's other seating too - tables and booths. Music playing - not so loud you can't hear others in your party talking. A TV was on, but I don't recall if there was more than one - mentioning it in case you're thinking of going to watch sporting events. And food is served. See pics. It's not gourmet but definitely great as bar food. I inhaled the pepperoni fries and the tacos weren't bad as well. But I was there for drinks and I love the two for one special. And that it's every day. That's pretty much what I'll be back for as it's close to work, service was great and the vibe was cool. Not to mention, there's a few pours of whiskey I don't mind whetting my palette with.

I ate at Bestia several years ago, before COVID, and I still think about that dinner today. I had…read moreflown from New York during a dreary stretch, and landing in sunny Los Angeles felt like arriving on another planet. California offered an immediate rush of light, space, and possibility. My memory is that when I turned my phone back on at LAX, my friend messaged to say he'd gotten us the hookup at Bestia. That dinner belongs to a chapter in which I spent considerable time in California and felt energized by the contrast with New York. My friend is highly discerning, with impeccable taste in food, design, and culture. He notices details most people miss, so when a place impresses him, I pay attention. From the moment I saw his message, I knew the reservation meant something. Even before we entered, Bestia's character was evident. Faded lettering crossed the corrugated metal facade, while brick walls and old loading doors preserved the warehouse's industrial history. Inside, enormous windows and garage doors brought light into a room shaped by glass, exposed ductwork, and warm amber pendants. When I fantasize about living in a loft, many of the attributes I picture are here, especially the incredible windows and connection to the street. Inside the restaurant, the dining room achieved a combination I rarely encounter. It had the table density and collective buzz of a great New York restaurant, but within a large, design-forward space closer in scale to something found in Chicago. New York creates energy through tight rooms, while Chicago excels at ambitious spaces with strong architectural identities. Bestia captured both advantages and made its considerable footprint feel alive and unified. We sat shoulder to shoulder at a pale stone counter facing the open kitchen. Golden era hip hop was playing, and A Tribe Called Quest still rings a very specific bell. I ordered the squid ink pasta, and it was exquisite, with enough depth and precision to command attention amid everything happening around us. We also spotted an unmistakably A-list celebrity, whom I will leave unnamed, making the night feel quintessentially Los Angeles. During that period, I often stayed at the Ace Hotel downtown, and the Arts District felt vibrant, raw, and full of possibility. The proximity to Skid Row could be deeply jarring, with severe hardship existing beside ambitious development and expensive restaurants. That contrast kept the neighborhood from feeling like a neat story of urban renewal, even as Bestia seemed to anchor its evolution. The warehouses and loading docks gave the area a character that no new development could convincingly recreate. Nearby, I also remember the American Apparel complex during its demise and the rise of impossibly cool Los Angeles designer John Elliott. His Escobar sweatpants and Villain hoodie helped define the kit of that moment; loyalists will understand. Los Angeles is a fickle city, drawn toward whatever is new and shiny, which makes Bestia's longevity especially impressive. Scene without substance is plastic, and Bestia earned its electricity through exceptional cooking, assured service, and a remarkable space; if I lived in Los Angeles, this would be one of the places I'd rely on whenever I wanted to impress someone. This is absolutely one of my favorite restaurants in the world.
